14 Writer-loved Quince Travel Essentials From $30

After traveling to more than 70 countries for the better part of a decade, I like to think I’ve cracked the code on practical combination style when it comes to packing, and my secret weapon is quince. The brand nails high-quality accessories that look luxurious without busting your travel budget. Instead of stuffing my suitcase with a million options, I now intentionally pack my go-to pieces that have handled everything from safari dust to seven-course cruise dinners, while oozing quiet luxury (without the actual cost).

For example, the brand’s Mongolian cashmere wraps double as first-class-worthy blankets, and its linen pajama sets are chic enough to wear from the plane to the hotel pool. Add in a washable silk travel dress and accessories like Italian leather dupe kits, and you’ve got a suitcase full of smart, stylish staples designed for flights, car rides, and everything in between. Keep scrolling to find 14 Queens travel essentials that deserve a spot on your packing list.

Queens Travel Accessories Under $50

Organic Cotton Fisherman’s Crew Sweater

No matter where I’m traveling, I always pack a sweater. Blame it on the millennial in me, but I like to be prepared for a cold front, rainy day, or strong wind. And this fishing crew sweater is functional and chic. I’ve worn it in Tahoe, on flights to Mexico, and at home in Chicago. Made of 100% organic cotton, it is soft, breathable and comfortable. The slightly raw, cropped silhouette flatters any look, and it pairs beautifully with silk skirts, jeans, and even leggings.

Mongolian cashmere t

Is there anything more stylish, classic and comfortable than a cashmere tee? It’s a must in my wardrobe and any packed bag. This super soft tee comes in eight colors (including some winter colors) and goes up to a size XL. Made from 100 percent grade-A Mongolian cashmere, it costs just $45 (a steal compared to similar styles that go for over $105). At this price, you can stock up on different variations to suit your trip without blowing your budget.

Italian leather cosmetics case

One thing I never thought was a light packer, and this Italian leather cosmetics case was made for overpackers like me. If you travel with a complete, 10-step skincare routine and makeup set, this will be your new go-to dope bag. It comes with a removable divided organizer and top strap to maximize space and neatly store brushes, mascaras and serums. It’s available in three colors (I have cognac, which goes with everything) and is made from soft, durable Italian leather. The leather strap makes it easy to move from room to room or even through airport terminals.

Italian leather horse mules

There’s nothing worse than walking through TSA security with your shoes on when you’re already running late. Enter these sleek and incredibly functional Italian leather loafers. They slip on and off in seconds and instantly elevate any travel outfit. Available in three colors (I’m currently lusting after bone), they also feature 4mm of orthopedic support and a slight heel. At just $70, they’re a total steal compared to similar options that run over $140. Bonus: They’re versatile enough to go from a plane to the piazza and from a presentation to a party.

Fold over cross body bag

A fold-over crossbody bag is as essential for any traveler as a white tee or your favorite pair of jeans. I’m never without it, whether I’m heading across the pond to London or grabbing dinner downtown. The Quince version comes in cognac, black, and taupe and is made from 100 percent top-grain Italian leather. Dual internal compartments offer plenty of room without bulk, so it easily fits your passport, powder and favorite lip stain. It even comes with a dust bag to keep it looking brand new, no matter how many times you use it. Similar bags retail for over $250, but this one costs just $120.

Italian leather everyday sneaker

Whenever I’m asked about the one thing I never travel without, I always have the same answer: a pair of white sneakers. If you’re looking to upgrade your go-to pair, swap them out for these 100 percent, full-grain Italian calf leather options. They’re just as durable (thanks to the rubber outsoles), and even though they’re laced up, they’re designed to slip on and off easily, ideal for rushing through TSA security or heading to the beach. I pair it with everything from a sweat suit to a dress.

Mongolian Cashmere Sweat

No surprise here: Quince’s cashmere collection is what really put the brand on the map. If you, like me, want to be cozy and cute on the plane, these Queens best-selling Mongolian cashmere pants fit the bill perfectly. I have them in navy and gray, and both have become flying staples. For added comfort and convenience, the pants feature pockets and a drawstring waist, and pair beautifully with a matching tee or full-zip hoodie for an ultra-luxe travel look.

Washable Silk Maxi Dress

Nothing screams luxury like silk, but the fabric isn’t always the first thing you reach for when traveling. Fortunately, Quince’s washable silk collection has easy care instructions, so you can bring your favorite pieces anywhere without fear of stains or wrinkles. For me, it’s the washable silk maxi dress. With a smocked waist, hook neck and three-tiered skirt, it’s elegant enough for weddings and comfortable enough to wear with 90% mulberry silk that’s soft, breathable and skin-friendly. It even has pockets!

Large organic cotton cardigan

Maybe it’s the mom in me, but I rarely leave the house without a neutral cardigan — and this oversized style is at the top of my wish list. It has a modern, chunky silhouette and comes in nine colors. Made from 100 percent organic cotton, it’s soft on the skin and warm without being hot, perfect for chilly flights or dinner. The pockets are a thoughtful touch, and the overall vibe makes it look more than three times its original price tag.

Second skin T-shirt bodysuit

As a seasoned traveler and self-proclaimed shopaholic, I believe every woman needs a good t-shirt bodysuit. Hear me out: Bodysuits, like this second skin from Queens, elevate a basic outfit, smooth everything out, and go with almost any bottom. The Queen’s version is made with 24 percent spandex for extra stretch and has a high-cut leg that hits just right to cinch your waist. Although fader-light, it is double-layered for extra coverage. It comes in sizes XS to XL and costs $30, making it an affordable carry-on staple.

Mongolian cashmere wrap

Feel like you’re in first class—even in seat 35B—add a Mongolian cashmere wrap to your carry-on. Made from the same ultra-soft 100 percent Mongolian cashmere, another Queens favorite, this wrap is a true multi-tasker. It works as a blanket for long flights, a scarf in the winter, or a cute shawl on cold nights. Available in four colors (ivory is my choice), it’s easily worth every penny.

Jacky polarized sunglasses

Channel your inner Jackie O – or Jaclyn White lotusThese with these ultra-trendy polarized “Jackie” sunglasses. They are lightweight, block 100 percent of UV rays, and are made from a plant-based material (wood pulp and cotton), a combination that makes them stronger and more durable. As someone who always loses or scratches their sunglasses, I love that they come with a sturdy case and scratch-resistant lenses. They are available in black, tortoise and cream: three colors that pair with any season, any season.

European linen shorts pajama set

Queens European Linen Pajama Set is the closest thing to staying in bed all day. But unlike your average PJ set, this pair is stylishly designed to double as everyday wear with its button-up top and comfortable linen shorts. Heck, you can roll out of bed on the first day without needing to change. What’s more, it comes in four colors so you can mix and match, and the eco-friendly European Flex fabric is highly breathable and lightweight for ultimate comfort.

Organic cotton poplin midi dress

As much as I love the original nap dress, its triple-digit price has put me off buying one. That’s why I’m obsessed with Queens’ version. At just $70, this smoky midi dress is made with crisp, breathable, 100 percent organic cotton poplin and comes in fresh colors like spicy coral, tribeca stripe, and romantic stems. The smoky bodice is super forgiving, and the A-line silhouette flatters every shape.
